Chapter 77: Three Big Questions in Philosophy

Lauren asked Ben to inform the police station to keep her updated if they found the old man. After all, she had a lot of contact with this old couple.

Now that she knew that this little ghost was still ‘abducting’ children, she could confirm that this was definitely done by a gang, and a long-term operation too.

Perhaps these missing cases in the past two years were all related to this little ghost.

There were four categories now.

The first was Lily, the second was Isabella, the third was the missing children in the kindergarten, and the fourth was the other missing children in the city.

There must be some connection between these missing children. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many vicious missing cases in such a safe place.

The current situation was like a crack that suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and there was light shining in.

What Lauren needed to do now was to open the crack bit by bit until the dark clouds that covered her eyes were removed and the truth could be seen.

Another piece of good news was that Yulia called to say that she had already contacted the parents and had arranged to meet them at a cafe near the kindergarten the next day.

Although there was another missing case today, they managed to gather some clues and obtain some results.

Lily, who had gone missing two years ago, was still alive, which meant that these missing children were of value to them. Isabella’s life would not be in danger for the time being.

Therefore, Lauren asked Ben to take the surveillance tapes of the other missing cases, intending to see if they were all in the same situation.

Quinn did not stay any longer after removing his make-up. He put on his hat and mask, and went straight to Franklin’s office.

However, he had forgotten about his terrorist-like attire and was stopped by the security guard at the door.

“Who are you? Where did you come from? Where are you going?”

No wonder people said that a security guard was like a philosopher. The questions he asked were three big philosophical problems.

“You can’t enter without an appointment! You’re dressed like an idiot. We’re a proper company.”

Quinn, who was wearing a pair of torn jeans, was speechless.

Looked like Franklin’s company recruited security guards based on how venomous they were!

“I’m looking for President Torres. I’m his younger brother.”

The security guard glanced at Quinn from head to toe with a sharp gaze.

“I’m really Franklin’s younger brother!” In the end, Quinn went in successfully, but it was Franklin’s secretary who came down personally to pick him up.

“Your security here is really…responsible.” Quinn could only come up with this word after pausing for a long time.

After making a scene at the door for quite a while, Quinn, who originally wanted to hide his identity, became the company’s top news on the forum.

The female employees coveted Quinn’s good looks for a long time, but they had no idea how to approach him. After all, Franklin was cold, but everyone knew that Quinn’s personality was the opposite of his brother’s.

Therefore, at 3:30 in the afternoon, which was supposed to be working hours, the female employees of the Torres Corporation all went to the toilet to touch up their makeup. Then, they all stood at the elevator entrance, ready to have an accidental encounter with Quinn.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Quinn was surrounded by a group of girls in front of him.

“Quinn, look here!”

The sound of snapping photos kept ringing out. Quinn walked from the elevator to the door of Franklin’s office, as if he had experienced a super close-up fan meeting.

Only after closing the door of Franklin’s office did it become completely quiet. Quinn felt exhausted and leaned against the door.

“Franklin, I didn’t know that all the employees in your company are my fans.”

Franklin was wearing earphones to concentrate on the computer, he did not even look at Quinn.

“Franklin?”

Suddenly Franklin spoke a German sentence, Quinn then realised that he was on a video conference.

He squatted quietly for a while until Franklin finally took off his headphones.

“Why are you here again? Are you tired of being a celebrity? Do you want me to arrange a position for you in the company?”

“You must be joking.”

“Franklin, I really have something important to talk to you about.”

Franklin spread his hands, indicating that he was all ears. Quinn then told Franklin everything that happened at the event.

“Then I went to the room to look at the wires. Sure enough, there were traces of wear and tear. The wires were all fine, except one wire that was cut with pliers. I saw traces of damage.”

As it concerned Quinn’s safety, Franklin frowned and took it seriously.

“Fortunately, the power went off midway. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even know what happened now.”

Quinn also heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had just saved his life.

“Yeah, for some reason, it was a sunny day and the sun was shining brightly. Suddenly, there was thunder. After the thunder, the power went out.”
